Texas Freedom Network

On this Juneteenth, we’re honoring HBCUS and the vital role they play for Black communities. We are privileged to work with such incredible students on various campuses across the state.

We encourage you to take time today to learn about the origins of Juneteenth and the significance of HBCUS in helping Black activists and organizers step into their power 🔥

With the SBOE around the corner, our chapters have been hard at work hosting letter writing parties across the state! Thanks to our student leaders and organizers on campus, concerned Texans have had the opportunity to contact their representatives directly and demand action.

Thank you, Texas Rising! 🔥

Just Texas had a busy weekend in the panhandle! Thank you to everyone who helped make Amarillo’s Yellow City Pride such a fun and successful event 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ The festival started with an interfaith pride service kickoff and was followed by a day of celebration and tabling.

Our JTX team had so many incredible conversations with folks about TFN, JTX, and the SBOE, AND got over 60 letters written to Aaron Kinsey at our letter writing event! We can’t wait to be back 🧡
